;e Students Rap Anti-Jewish Remark Brooklyn, N.Y. (JTA) - An attack on Jews made in the course of an address about two weeks ago at Brooklyn College by a black educator, James Garrett, has stirred up a controversy, among students, faculty members, college officials and religious leaders on the campus. The controversy was kindled by a report in a recent issue of Kingsman, the Brooklyn College students newspaper, which stated that Mr. Garrett, Director of the Center for Black Education In Washington, D.C., had told a meeting of the Martin Luther King Jr. lecture .series at the college that, "Itjsjtlie Jew in particular who has kept the black man under chaiifif." In the aftermath of the outrage expressed by several students, and religious leaders of the B'nai B'rith Hillel Foundations at the statement, charges and counter-charges, denials and disavowals were printed in the Nov. 6th issue of the Kingsman, John W. Kneller, President of Brooklyn College, stated that although he was not certain of the veracity of the reported > statement, he • nevertheless decried "racism or any
other form of prejudice which has taken place at Brooklyn College." Professor Daniel E. Mayers, chairman of the Afro-American

Institute, claimed that Mr. Garrett's statements were totally distorted in the news account and contended that to "impute to Mr. Garrett the idiotic-remark that the 'Jew controls the means, services, and owns the land' is downright insulting." Mr. Mayers insisted that Mr, Garrett had said that w h i t e people have oppressed'; black people and that in the course of his remarks, "Mr. Garrett identified certain g r o u p s of: whites" which included Jews as agents of oppression. Victor Roth, the student who reported the statement by Mr. Garrett In the Kingsman, replied to Mr, Mayers' charges of distortion by reiterating the veracity of his report and added: "Mr. Garrett did not just casually mention the Jews. He, singled them but as the people. who are in true control of tills • country and thereby the white man most responsible for the black man's plight in this country. Also' mentioned was the large J e w i s h population at Brooklyn College."
Bombing Probe Asked By Rabbinical Coyncil New York (JTA)-The Rabbinical ' Council of America called this week on Attorney General John Mitchell to establish - 'pedal department to »•• gng \ombings--and. other cptf^ 'ence against syna^'fl^.QO1^ churches, lar( * *^ frtrt°°^-3 t l t n' e ' ^' Berzbn, ^g*^ Council, which ^ -aents Orthodox rabbis in the United States and Canada, referred to the recent bomb. ings of two Orthodox syna-' gogues in Rochester, New York and recent attacks on other synagogues, churches and public buildings. He said "it has become increasingly obvious that local and state police and security forces are unable to bring an end to these
acts of violence. Only the organized strength of the Federal government can cope with them. We therefore call upon the Attorney General to im-. mediately set into motion an investigation of all acts of violence and to take the necessary steps . to protect our hourses of worship." Rabbi Berzon observed that "we have too much experience with the bombings of Nazi Germany and other events not to be concerned with, the very future of our country. It is obvious that whoever is'planning these bombings desires to destroy us and to bring about a government of r e p r e s s i o n whether on the right or on the left."

Rogers 'Encouraged by Talk with Eban, Riad Washington (JTA) — There were no new proposals and no new developments at Secretary of State William P. Rogers' week-end meeting in New York with Israeli and Egyptian Foreign Ministers, but Mr. Rogers "was encouraged by the conversation," State Department spokesman Robert J. McCloskey said: Mr. Rogers' New York talks with Abba Eban and Mahmoud Riad were an "attempt to as ; sess the situation1' and to determine "Where do we go from here?," Mr. McCloskey said. . Asked to forecast when the Jarring peace mission might be reactivated, the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State replied: "No one can tell you
'Dramatic Increase' Seen in Jewish COs
New York (JTA)—The Jewish Peace Fellowship, which provides draft counseling '. to.

Mr. McCloskey Was questioned on reports that the United States has given up on attempts to effect "rectification" of Egyptian missile violations in the Suez Canal standstill zone. "That would not be correct," he said of the reports. Pressed on why he had not mentioned "rectification" in a recent briefing devoted to. ! the Middle East, which had led some newsmen to conclude the U.S. was downplaying an,, Egyptian m i s s i l e rollback, Mr. McCloskey remarked: ' T thought I spoke to that last .week with constructive ambl- • guity." .

Study Shows Teens Want 'To Maintain Jewish Identity1 New York (JTA)—The Jewish teenager generally wants to maintain his Jewish identity and "to clearly be able to say to others that he is a Jew," and his readiness to so identify himself and his resistance to intermarriage are directly related, according to a summary of recent research findings on adolescents published by the National 'Jewish Welfare Board.
Adolescents were found to pjace a high value on athletic and social skills and autonomous adolescent groups were found to be declining.' Another finding was that while sexual awareness among adolescents may occur at an early age, sexual activity occurs much more gradually.

Mrs. Max Schcnk, Hadassah President, units on Haifa dock with Israelis who are members of this cooperative community of 70 American and 30 Israeli families, who will settle at Neve Han in the Judacan Hills.

Brooklyn Students Angered (Continued from Page 1) " .when "they" .celebrated their New Year, all the public schools and stores were closed, thereby : demonstrating Jewish control of almost-all goods and services in the area in which he resides (Washington, D.C.). "He (Mr. Garretf) said in effect, that society was at a stand-still during: this holiday p e r I o A," Mr. Roth replied to Mr. Mayers' letter. "Not one other eth-;nfc or religious holiday was TDentioned by Mr. Garrett." Rabbi Norman E. Frimer, national coordinator for Hillel afairs in the. New York area and spokesman for the B'riai B'rith .Hillel Foundation on the college campus, and his associate, Rabbi Frank E. Fischer,- in a letter sent to Kingsman for
its' next issue, expressed 'their disenchantment and disappontment with Mr. Mayers' letter which did not officially disassociate the Afro-American Department from 'Mr. .Garrett's remarks. They expressed regret that Mr. Mayers "did not avail himself of the opportunity of Mr. Mayers' statement, the two B'iiai. B'rith r a b b i s noted that an official disassociation "would have been welcome and reassuring." Jt would have, they continued, "cleared some of the tension in the air and certainly aided the sorelyneeded enterprise of rebuilding the bridges of communication between minority groups whose • w e l f a r e and security are in reality i n e x t r i c a b l y interlocked." •••-;•••;•

Rabbi Says Jewish Youths Can Qualify for C O . Status The denial of conscientious objector's status to members of the Jewish faith on the grounds that Judaism cannot embrace conscientious objection was protested by the major Jewish rabbinic and synagogue organizations in the Unitied-States. In a letter to Dr. Curtis W. Tarr, Director of the Selective Service System, Rabbi Solomon J. Sharfman, President of the Synagogue C o u n c i l of America asserted" that while Judaism is not a pacifist faith, it does not preclude "the possibility of individuals developing conscientious objection to war based on their understanding of the moral imperatives of Jewish tradition." Rabbi Sharfman said that it is therefore improper for such applications to be rejected "on the false ground that Judaism cannot embrace conscientious objection." He requested that this information be transmitted to selective service boards and government a p p e a l agents across the country. ..Rabbi Sharfman's letter said: VJewish faith, while viewing war as a dehumanizing aberration and enjoining a relentless quest for peace, recognizes that war can become a tragic, unavoidable necessity. Judaism is therefore not a pacifist faith in the sense that this term is generally used. "However, this fact does not preclude the possibility of individuals developing conscientious objection to war basedon their understanding of and sensitivity to the moral imperatives of the Jewish tradition. In other words. Jewish faith can indeed embrace conscientious objection, and Jewish religious law makes specific pro-
vision for the exemption of such moral objectors. "It is entirely proper for individuals claiming such conscientious objector's status to be questioned about the sincerity and consistency of their beliefs, provided they are not singled out to meet requirements not applicable to members of other faotlis. It is entirely improper, however, to reject such applications on the false, ground that Judaism cannot embrace conscientious objection."' :

FFSAFACT
JEWISH PRESS
By Ben Gallob During the past four years, the number of prospective converts to Judaism accepted by American Conservative rabbis has risen about 50 percent, from about 2,000 in 1966 to an estimated 3,000 this year, according to a report by a rabbi W!K> has made a survey of such conversions. The survey was made by Rabbi Aaron II. Blumenthal of Mount Vernon, N.Y., who sent a questionnaire to all 1,000 members of the association of Conservative rabbis, of whom 180 responded. As h a v e all other studies on conversion, the Blumenthal report indicated that "most candidates for conversion are attracted to Judaism by the desire to marry Jews." One key conclusion reported by Rabbi Blumenthal was that "the problem is larger than we have believed it to be." He cited a 1953 report by Rabbi Max Eichhorn that the 1,000 Conservative rabbis averaged about one conversion a year. Rabbi Seymour Friedman reported in 1966 an estimate "that the Conservative1* movement receives 2,000 converts per year." Citing data and extrapolations of the data from the survey questionnaire, Rab-

But very little notice has been taken of the heroism of Israeli children, now in their 4th year of life in, the bomb shelters of Jewish settlements 'under enemy attack. .• A study recently made by psychologists reveals the interesting fact that those children who have to d w e l l in bomb shelters 'are singularly free of emotional problems and . behave in quite a normal fashion, despite the fact that life in the shelters has become an integral part of their daily existence.

The children are so accustomed to the shooting that they are capable of distinguishing what shot comes from what sort of weapon. Another interesting fact uncovered by the survey is that the blending and integration of new immigrants from various lands no longer seems to operate in those settlements which are under attack. At the northern outpost of Kiryat Shmoneh, for e x a m p l e , it seems that each group feels more comfortable in sticking close together and each indi-' vidual seeks the comfort of his 'Landsleit.'

Sidelines By Mickey Gerefick This is National Jewish . Newspaper Week and I'll bet none of you even knew it. This special week has been proclaimed by the American Jewish Press Association to draw attention to the unique role played by Jewish newspapers in the saga of modern Jewish life. Did you know, for instance, that there are 185 English language Jewish periodicals published in the United States, more than half of which are sponsored by national Jewish organizations. There arc only 51 publications that fail into the class of weekly J e w i s h newspapers like the Jewish Press, which means that many. Jews have little access to the spfcial newt and knowledge provided by Jewish Newspapers. M"'; Early this year the Omaha Jewish Federation adopted a Jewish Press Publication Policy. I think it is well that the policy be printed again: *
•
•
•
Toe Alms of the Jewish Press To provide a quality weekly newspaper which will fully and accurately present local, regional,' national and world news of Jewish interest. - To offer commentary, interpretation and background on events pi the day, as a means of stimulating the concerns and response vital to the fulfillment of our responsibilities as Americans and Jews. - To express editorial opinion - on any subject the editor • deems Important or of general Interest, written to stimulate reader thoughts on a given subject. To enrich the cultural life of the Jewish c o m m u n i t i e s through the . presentation of features, articles, reviews and other material of Jewish content and interest. To provide a forum for comment by members of the community wishing to express their viewpoints on matters of Jewish interest.' That's a good policy, but only the reader can determine whether or not the paper is meeting its proposed goals. We depend on your reactions to _/>* guide vs. If you fail to react, and if we fail to live up to the goals of our paper, all of us are the losers. And I guess that's
the real reason for a National Newspaper Week—to remind the paper of it's responsibilities to the readers, and to remind the readers of their responsibilities to Uie newspaper. The week of November 9-16 was selected as National Jewish Newspaper Week because the American Jewish Press Association will be meeting this week in conjunction with the CJFWF Assembly in Kansas City. I will meet with other Jewish newspaper editors and publishers in Kansas City and together we'll probe our responsibilities. We'll share ideas about editorials, fe: :"ra stories and relevant ncv.s reporting. We'll discuss pragmatic problems of circulation, advertising, production costs, etc. We'll complain a little, brag a little and re-inspire each other to come back home and do a better job. That's the way conventions work, and one needs that kind of boost to face the unique frustrations of Jewish newspapering.
By George Friedman Increased concern over a rising crime rate and a desire to scotch the idea of bloc Jewish voting were major factors in the significant victories in New York State of Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller, self-styled "progressive Republican" who has steadily moved to the right, and Sen.-elect James L. Buckley of the Conservative Party, the first third-party candidate chosen for the upper house in 30 years. Mr. Rockefeller, a Baptist, concentrating on Italian and other "white ethnics" while maintaining a strong stance in favor of Israel and against crime, blocked the attempt of Arthur J. Goldberg running with a black Catholic, to build on traditional Jewish and black support for liberal Democrats. Othodox Jews and hardhats especially lined up behind Mr. Rockefeller in the belief that he was more likely than Mr. Goldberg to" stem the rise in neighborhood crime that has been aggravated by Jewishblack and anti-Establishment tensions.

They discovered an old friend from Young Judaea days was going to Israel; then they became caught up in the enthusiasm of some Israeli friends.
